BOTB 10.30.11

By Kate Riley • October 30, 2011

Hello and happy Sunday everyone! Are you ready for Halloween? I’ve got two very excited munchkins who have been wearing their costume practically all weekend long, let’s hope those threads last through the end of Monday’s festivities (fingers crossed). Amanda and I teamed up again to bring you our favorite picks from across the blogosphere, we hope you’re inspired by all these great projects, enjoy!

If you missed the first round, gear up for the next big Pinterest Challenge, hosted by Katie at Bower Power together with some notable compadres. Pick something you’ve pinned and get busy making your version for a link party on November 2nd!

Thanks so much Amanda for for helping me track down some great picks this week, be sure to visit Amanda at her blog Serenity Now.

If you’d like your latest post or project considered for this weekend series, send it our way to [email protected].

Those are some lucky girls! I would love to have that room, though I don’t know that my hubby would be too happy in there ;). I’ve seen those photos all over pinterest and am glad to have the source – thanks!

Also, loving the styling tips from Miss Mustard Seed. I’m getting a new camera for christmas and trying to brush up on techniques!

The mention of the laminate floors got me wondering: Can laminate floors be sanded and stained like real wood? I don’t like the color of mine and wanted to know if any bloggers have attempted this. Love the BOTB posts each week!

Kate, as always, thanks for the great BOTB wrap-up. You are the very first home decor blog I found this past spring and I visit your blog daily. Many projects in my home have been inspired by you — and executed using your excellent tutorials! I just launched my blog this weekend and as I add to my posts, specifically my home tour, there will be plenty of references to you!
